Benevilla invited family caregivers, older adults and community members to attend a free educational workshop addressing one of the most critical challenges faced by caregivers — burnout, isolation and depression.

The workshop, “Caregiver Burnout, Isolation and Depression,” takes place from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Thursday, July 17 at the Benevilla Education Center, 14601 N. Del Webb Boulevard in Sun City West.

Led by Gina Alvarez from Billet Health, this session will help attendees recognize the emotional and physical toll caregiving can bring. Participants will learn practical coping strategies and explore local resources designed to support mental health and personal well-being.

A Q&A will follow the presentation, providing a supportive space to share experiences and gain helpful tools for balancing caregiving responsibilities with self-care.

“Caregiving is rewarding, but it can also lead to stress, isolation and emotional fatigue,” said Jennifer Kehren, director of CARES and volunteer services for Benevilla. “We’re proud to offer this free workshop to help caregivers feel seen, supported and better equipped to care for themselves.”

Registration is recommended as space is limited. To reserve a spot, call 623-584-4999, or visit benevilla.org/education-workshops-2025.

Benevilla offers support to caregivers, families and older adults in the community through free educational resources, support groups and life-enrichment programs.
